OPI Oz Collection - When Monkeys Fly + Glints Of Glinda // REVIEW



Hey guys! I was so excited to be sent two nail polishes from the OPI Oz Great And Powerful Collection. The collection is a range of soft and glitter shades, inspired by Disney's Oz The Great And Powerful! I haven't tried a lot of nail polishes from OPI before, so I was really looking forward to trying these two. They also gave me the chance to test out my new Seche Vite Quick Dry Top Coat, which I will state now, I love! 




When Monkeys Fly - £11.50* I have heard a lot of controversial things about this polish, mainly because of the large pieces of glitter in it that stick up, so I wasn't sure if I would like it. It is a 3D glitter nail polish with small silver glitter pieces, that look different colours in certain light, and large gold hexagons. You could wear it as a topcoat or by itself! The thing that I found a bit of a pain was that it was quite hard to get the gold hexagons out of the bottle. 

A good thing about this was that, even though it was a 3D glitter polish, it didn't get caught on anything as I managed to get the hexagons to lay flat on my nails. Lasting power wise it was basically the same as Glints Of Glinda, maybe minus a day due to it being easier to catch. After using this a couple of times I think that it is a really good hex glitter polish but I guess that it may not be to everybody's "tastes"!



Glints Of Glinda - £11.50* Glints Of Glinda is a nude, peachy-beige colour. I found that I needed to use three or four coats to make it opaque, however it would be great for doing French manicure if you used one or two coats! 

It has a really classic, gloss finish which I think looks really pretty. It dries quite quickly which I was impressed with, but it did seem to scratch easily if I caught it. The thing I really liked was that it lasted a long time, once you got over the fact of having to not catch it! It lasted about five days without me having to take it off, which I thought was great for a nail polish!

Overall I really like these two nail polishes and would most likely re-purchase them both, especially Glints Of Glinda as I loved the finish of it! 

Have you tried anything from the OPI Oz Collection? If you did what did you think of them? :)

PS. I am redesigning my blog (again) so please ignore anything that may look a bit strange as I should have everything sorted by next weekend!

  2. Glints of Glinda is such a lovely nude colour. I'm really into nude nail varnishes at the moment- they look so classy on
